简要总结
Screening, diagnosis and treatment of HCV in PWID, should be part of a harm reduction strategy. Treatment of HCV infected PWID should be delivered in a multidisciplinary care setting with services to reduce the risk of reinfection and for management of the common social and psychiatric comorbidities in this population. More frequent diagnosis, new methods that prevent loss of tracking, and access to antiviral treatment are all strategies that must be implemented jointly if the prevalence of HCV infection in our setting is to be reduced.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of HCV Infected Paticipants Whom Result of the Test Was Delivered to
时间窗: 2 years
Percentage of participants who had a positive HCV test and results of the test was delivered to them.
Percentage of Participants Who Started HCV Antiviral Therapy.
时间窗: 2 years
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention. Subjects who had a positive result in the screening performed in Cañada Real Galiana will be contacted and offered the possibility of referral to HUIL, where they will have access to standard confirmation tests. Here, test accuracy will be evaluated at population level. Patients will have access to HCV treatment and will be followed for assessment of the impact of the program on patients' health (appointment in health centers, percentage of treated patients, and the percentage of virological response).
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Sustained Virological Response (SVR)
